TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by taking Adderall instead of Prozac

Without getting too into it, I've had a history of mental health problems since childhood. I tried a number of different medications as a teenager, but ended up disliking the side effects and stopping use altogether by the time I was 18. Now, at 23, I've been in therapy for a few years and decided with the help of my therapist to try it again. This is where the problems start.

A few months back I see a sort of shady zoom psychiatrist. She diagnoses me with ADHD within a 20 minute conversation, with no diagnostic test, and prescribes me Adderall. I've previously suspected I've had ADHD, so I went with it. I tried taking it for a while, but have a lot of anxiety/ocd issues that it exacerbated, so I stopped. I didn't throw it away or anything, just threw it in my cupboard and forgot about it. The capsules were green and white.

A few weeks later, I decide to give meds another go, but with a different psychiatrist. This one seems a lot more like an actual doctor. Decides on starting me on prozac for my OCD symptoms. I pick the meds up from my pharmacy. They're also green and white capsules, just slightly smaller.

I get a weekly pill organizer to keep track of my meds, and on week 2, I grab my meds from my cupboard and load it for the week.

I'm not noticing anything too different on prozac, but it isnt supposed to kick in for 3-6 weeks so I'm not that worried. Sometimes I forget to take it until later in the day, like 7pm. I'm having my normal anxiety symptoms, but sometimes struggling to sleep far beyond my usual insomnia. I'm not hungry, my mouth is weirdly dry, and my hands shake on occasion but I attribute it to not eating.

Today, I go to load my medication into my pill organizer for the 3rd week, and I notice they look different. I read the label, but it says prozac. It's definitely the right pills. Suddenly I remember the Adderall also in my cupboard. Upon investigation, I've been taking Adderall for at least the past week.

Now I have to restart weening myself onto prozac, I have no idea if it's helpful or not, and I've been unknowingly on Adderall for hopefully 1 week maybe 2? All because I couldn't keep track of my pill bottles. Plus at my month out appointment I'll have to explain I've actually only been taking it for 2 weeks! I feel like such an idiot.

TL;DR: I had an old Adderall perscription that looks very similar to Prozac. Ended up taking Adderall instead of Prozac for at least a week.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
